Setting Up a Spare RAID Disk
You can designate a hard drive to be used as a spare drive for a RAID 1, RAID 0+1
or RAID 5 array2. The spare drive can take over for a failed disk. MediaShield RAID
supports two types of spare drives:
Free Disk
A free disk is a disk that is not part of any RAID array, but can be used by any
available RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or RAID 5 array that requires a particular disk when
one of its disks crashes or becomes unusable. The process is automatic and
doesn
’
t require any userinteraction.
Dedicated Disk
A dedicated free disk is a disk that is assigned to a RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or RAID 5
array and that disk is used by that array only when needed, for example during a
system crash where a RAID mirrored drive is broken. The dedicated disk can be
used only by the array that it is assigned to and not by any other array.
Note: You must have at least two RAID arrays to use this feature.
